Can you eat pancakes on a keto diet?

I love being the bearer of good news (who doesn’t?) – you most certainly can eat pancakes on a keto diet! This is a great pancake recipe for those on a ketogenic diet. This keto pancake recipe is also suitable for low-carb diet, diabetic diet, and sugar-free diet.

How do you make low carb pancakes?

While the most striking image of pancakes is probably a sky high stack loaded with carbs and sugar, you can make delicious pancakes that are low carb. This is a very versatile pancake recipe with few ingredients.

For this low carb cream cheese pancake, you’ll need the following ingredients:

cream cheese

eggs

almond flour

pinch of salt (optional)

butter (for the griddle)

To make the pancakes, simply mix the ingredients together in a blender. Then cook the batter on a griddle for about 1 minute on each side.

Does that sound too easy? It’s hard to believe until you try it yourself. And that’s why these pancakes make a great weekday breakfast for the entire family.

Is Cream Cheese okay for a Keto Diet?

You can definitely eat cream cheese on a keto and low-carb diet. The exact carb count can vary based on the brand of cream cheese you use, so check the packaging if you want exact information.

Are eggs keto?

Eggs are keto and low carb, making them an ideal breakfast food. A large egg contains 1 gram of carb and 7 grams of high-quality protein. Eggs also contain iron, vitamins, minerals and carotenoids.

You get 1 egg per 3 of these Keto Cream Cheese Pancakes.

Is almond flour OK on keto?

Almond flour is low-carb, and healthy to eat on a keto diet. Almond flour is made by grinding whole almonds down to a fine flour consistency.

You can buy blanched and unblanched almond flour. I always use unblanched almond flour for this recipe because it is less processed, and has more nutrients, minerals and fiber.

Blanched almond flour is soaked in hot water, cooled off, then skin removed. It makes a lighter, whiter and fluffier flour. You need blanched almond flour for pastries such as macaroons.

But since we are making keto pancakes with almond flour here, and we want to be as healthy as possible, you don’t need almond flour that has been extra processed.

Ingredients

Instructions

Blend everything together in a blender to make the pancake batter. It is a very thin batter.

Heat a griddle on medium heat. Melt a bit of butter on the pan. Slowly drop the pancake batter on the griddle using a tablespoon. The pan should be hot enough so the pancake batter starts to cook immediately on contact.

As the pancake batter is runny, to get circular pancakes, slowly pour on the pancake batter so it thickens as it comes in contact with the griddle. That way, the batter doesn't all quickly spread around the pan in random shapes.

Help spread the batter outwards and into a circle shape with the back of a spoon. Use 2 tablespoons of batter per pancake for 3-inch pancakes.

Alternatively, to make it quickly if you aren't bothered by perfectly circular pancakes, simply pour on the pancake batter and allow it to spread evenly across the pan.

Cook for about 1 minute, then flip and cook for another minute or so, until cooked through.

Notes

To make this low carb cream cheese pancake into a sweet breakfast, I recommend adding a bit of lemon zest, cinnamon, or vanilla in the pancake batter before cooking.

If you are planning to enjoy this as a savory cream cheese keto pancake, you can add a bit more salt or a pinch of black pepper in the pancake batter.

I made this recipe but by accident used coconut flour. Great mistake, they tasted awesome. My family even ate them stuffed with bacon and sugar free syrup. I prefer cream which I made with 1 cup of heavy cream, 3 T sweetener and a bit of lemon juice. I also stuffed it with a few strawberries. 5 stars for me. First keto breakfast I made for the family and it was a big hit. Thank you
